Didn't know there even was a 15/70 around, but I'm guessing they could have made the open ratio exclusive to digital (wouldn't be the first time).
There were definitelY two different aspect ratios. Seeing it in Digital IMAX it easily filled the screen. However, I could immediately tell that there was more vertical information than what I saw in the 2.40 trailers. In addition, you could tell that the HUD was designed for a 2.40 screen because there was negative space on the top and bottom on POV shots.
